Retail stores are just too expensive now when you can go online to say overstock.com and buy nice discounted goods.
Like that chain Linens and Things that is also going under. Pricey blankets and household goods. Go on overstock you can buy the same nice stuff with $1.95 shipping and its much cheaper. Hell, two bucks is cheaper than the gas to go some places.
We went grocery shopping yesterday, and decided to try a new store we've never shopped at before. They had sacks of potatoes for $8!! A box of vanilla wafers was $3.99! Crazy prices at big flashy retail stores in these times.

I agree, I might go look at something but I buy it online. I was at microcenter, just killing time while my wife was getting her nails done.Saw a laptop case I like it was 50 bucks. Went on amazon on my phone in the store and saw I could get with 34.95 with free shipping and no tax. It was a no brainer, same with books. I may browse but I buy them all online.
